Frequently asked questions
Standard Tier: Comprehensive, Personalized Medical Care
Since 2022, Dr. Lipton’s membership practice (now called Standard Tier) has offered a personalized approach to internal medicine, focusing on prevention and early detection. This tier includes:
Annual Comprehensive Health Evaluation: A thorough review of current medical issues and health concerns.
Advanced Health Screenings: Discussion and interpretation of screenings like CT angiograms with Cleerly Plaque Analysis or full-body MRIs.
Risk Management: Detailed strategies to manage health risks identified during evaluations, including recommendations on medications, supplements, diet, and lifestyle.
These service offerings go beyond traditional practice settings and are not typically reimbursed by insurance. These services are offerings and not mandates. If all you want is reliable, accessilble, "usual" medical care, Standard Tier can be that too.
Premier Tier: Data-Driven Health Optimization Program
Building upon the Standard Tier, the Premier Tier offers a more intensive program aimed at reducing biological aging and enhancing vitality. Key features include:
Genomics evaluation with focus on clinically relevant, actionable genetic profiles. This is like having the specifications and instruction manual for your own physiology. (currently using IntellxxDNA)
In-Depth Biological Assessment: Evaluation of aging hallmarks, metabolic pathways, presence of toxins like PFAS/pesticides/metals, and identification of the most rapidly aging organ systems.
In-Depth interpretation: You will understand how your genes are currently being expressed based on your current medication conditions and symptoms along with the extensive biologic assessment. You will have a tailored plan to optimize your health.
Structured Program: Up to 6 scheduled Zoom consultations with Dr. Lipton, in addition to more frequent communication, educational emails, and instructional videos.
Comprehensive follow up: Initial extensive testing with targeted follow-ups are included in the program cost (with rare exceptions for unexpected findings requiring external consultation).
Advanced Interventions: Discussion and management of therapies like peptides, hormones, and bioregulators, which necessitate specialized follow-up not available in the Standard Tier.
Choosing the Right Tier
If you're seeking routine medical evaluations with a focus on prevention, the Standard Tier provides exceptional care. However, if you're aiming for a proactive, data-driven approach to optimize your health and slow biological aging, the Premier Tier offers a comprehensive program tailored to your unique physiology.

The field of longevity and age optimization is advancing rapidly, with new biomarkers and testing modalities emerging regularly. As a physician deeply committed to both traditional internal medicine and cutting-edge anti-aging science, I dedicate hundreds of hours annually to staying abreast of these developments through conferences, webinars, and continuous education.
Customized, Evolving Testing Approach
In the Premier Tier program, the specific tests you receive are not fixed but are carefully selected based on the most current, evidence-based tools available to assess biological age and metabolic processes relevant to aging. This approach ensures that your evaluation is tailored to your unique physiology and the latest scientific insights.
Examples of Potential Assessments
While the exact tests may vary, they often include:
Epigenetic Clocks: Assessments like DNA methylation analysis to estimate biological age of multiple organ systems including brain and immune system.
Genomic Analysis: Medical grade DNA sequencing and analysis only available to trained physicians.
Nutrients, toxicants, metals, and inflammatory markers.
Metabolic Panels: Comprehensive evaluations of fat, amino acid, and glucose metabolism,
Hormonal Profiles: Assessments of multiple hormones and precursors and the pathways that drive them.
Mitochondrial Function Tests: Evaluations of cellular energy production and efficiency.
Continuous Adaptation for Optimal Results
As new validated tests become available, they may be incorporated into the Premier Tier program to enhance the precision and effectiveness of your health optimization plan. This dynamic approach ensures that you benefit from the most advanced assessments tailored to your individual needs.

If you're a health-conscious, successful person over 55, and you're noticing that your energy, strength, or mental clarity isn't what it used to be—even though you're doing "everything right"—then Premier Tier may be exactly what you're looking for.
This program is designed for individuals who:
Feel that traditional healthcare offers generic advice like "exercise more" or "eat better," without providing a personalized, proactive plan.
Are experiencing subtle yet persistent signs of aging—such as fatigue, slower recovery, or mental fog—and are seeking a comprehensive strategy to address them.
Desire to maintain peak performance in both business and personal life, and are unwilling to accept that decline is inevitable.
Have the means and motivation to invest in a structured, data-driven approach to health optimization.
Premier Tier isn't a one-size-fits-all program. It's a custom experience tailored to your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals. If you're ready to work with a physician that understands how to assess your genomic tendencies and how they may be manifesting in real-time in terms of unexplained symptoms, medical problems, and biologic aging, and how to influence this process, then Premier Tier is designed for you.
